OK, so because some racist asswipe took "Turkey In The Straw" and wrote offensive lyrics for it, that's what all the ice cream trucks are playing?

I think I may possibly need a bit more evidence. Like if the first ice cream trucks to play the song played it with the "N*gger Love a Watermelon" lyrics included, and if someone posts a video of that. Then I'll buy the concept. Otherwise, it's "Turkey in the Straw". Which is weird-ass enough for an ice cream truck.

THIS.

In high school, they brought in a very angry lady to talk to (read: shout at) us about sexism in the media. I will never forget how she showed us a series of "Got Milk?" ads (you know, the milk moustache ones) and then, sly grin on her face, showed us a, shall we say, pornographically-influenced parody ad that left very little to the imagination. She spent the next ten minutes explaining to us that milk ads were really just money shot jokes and that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for not realizing this sooner and that milk is basically a misogynistic racket.

THIS. Any one of us could probably come up with offensive lyrics to damned near anything.Mary blew a little lamb.

I wish I could say that even a small fraction of that was made up.

/yeah, yeah... csb...

Heh...in my copy classes in college we did an entire section on "foods with dipping sauce" advertisements. Every single one was supposedly some kind of phallic symbol with a money shot. Before that class I never even thought about it. But now? It's all that I can picture when i see one. That class turned my mind into a perverted mess!

If you know it as "the ice cream truck song" and not "that racist version of turkey in the straw", you're not really perpetuating racism then are you? You are responding to conditioning that makes you dash for your wallet and out to the street and there's nothing racist about green money. Unless you're a frog offended at that association. Or a pig, desperately in love with a frog who might be offended. Though I always felt Ms. Piggy was a bit of a gold digger anyway.

I'm pretty sure that melody has existed longer than those lyrics, but even if he's right and it's not:

If everyone forgot that the song is racist, to the point that nobody is offended by it, what purpose does it serve to dredge up the old lyrics? Yay, now a cute little melody is ruined and people that were previously not offended are.

"There is simply no divorcing the song from the dozens of decades it was almost exclusively used for coming up with new ways to ridicule, and profit from, black people."? Well, either the article is redundant trash telling people what they already knew, or that assertion is false because people didn't know about those decades.

Joy to the world, the teacher's deadwe barbecued her head!What happened to the body?We flushed it down the potty!And round and round it went,and round and round it wentand rouuund and round and round it went

Mad_Radhu:Now... Vader, he's a spiritual brother, y'know, down with the force and all that good shiat. Then this cracker, Skywalker, gets his hands on a light saber and the boy decides he's gonna run the farkin' universe; gets a whole clan of whites together. And they go and bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star. Now what the fark do you call that?

I don't care if it's racist or not. All I know is by June, I will so sick of that song I'll be tempted to get on the roof of my apartment with a rifle and go all Texas Book Depository on the Ice Cream Man's ass.

/live across the street from a park//hear this song non-stop for about 5 months a year

The lyrics were written to an existing tune. This racist version was released by Columbia Records which is owned by Sony. Sister companies include Arista, RCA, BMG, Epic, CBS, etc. I would suggest the author of the article dropping his grievance because it is beyond ridiculous now.

I knew of an ice cream truck that played the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully. One day though, by a tragic coincidence, the operator dropped a pointed sugar cone on his foot, and died five days later from gangrene.

So by the same twisted NPR liberturd logic since Joseph Haydn composed the music used for the Nazi anthem Deutschland Über Alles 1797 anyone listening to Haydn today is a Nazi. What a bunch of farking PC tards. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ8zUcg_Lks
